The version of America they want back is the 19th century.

Gilded age robber barons. Public corruption. Slavery. Food adulteration. Snake oil. Civil War. Voteless women. POC who "knew their place". Starving workers. Industrial pollution. Perpetual pandemics. Water & air contamination. Poverty stricken old age. Cemeteries filled with the graves of unvaccinated children under the age of 5.

It took 2 world wars to wrest control away from aristocracy and begin democracy.

😡😕 Sure, Tuberville's making a lot of new friends among those really serving the United States & being really faithful to their oath of allegiance.

"The wife of a Navy officer is stuck in professional limbo, unable to accept a new teaching contract overseas or return to her old job in a Virginia public school.

Two children of service officers are being prevented from enrolling in a new school after leaving their old one in anticipation of a move.

Two Air Force officers are living in temporary housing and paying their own storage costs because they do not know how long their promotions will remain on hold."

Another great quote from Cory Doctorow's new book "The Internet Con How to Seize the Means of Computation". This reminds me of a beautiful nch of f people in the news:

“If I am rich, it must be because I am brilliant. How can you tell I’m brilliant? Well, for starters, I’m rich. Having proven my wealth and brilliance, it’s clear that I should be in charge of things.”

@AlliFlowers ok why the delay...he has been obstructing our national security for years now - Tuberville is working against democracy and seems to be immune to rules, ethics and patriotism. The party is a cult - and nothing will disrupt its adherents until they are voted out of office. Every one of them. Also meant to add that this party has severed itself completely from our national defense objectives and the safety of our men and women in uniform. Vote, vote them out. They hate us all.

@AlliFlowers
Republicans better soon start doing something to protect our military from politicization or the fate of our country is at grave risk.
